\mathbf f(x,y)=(2x-4y)\,\mathbf i+(-4x+10y-9)\,\mathbf j

is conservative if

\dfrac{\partial(2x-4y)}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial(-4x+10y-9)}{\partial x}

It's clear that this is true, since both partial derivatives reduce to -4, so \mathbf f is indeed a conservative vector field.

Since \mathbf f(x,y) is conservative, there must be some scalar function f(x,y) such that

\nabla f(x,y)=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\,\mathbf j=\mathbf f(x,y)
\implies\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2x-4y

Integrating with respect to x yields

\displaystyle\int\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\mathrm dx=f(x,y)=x^2-4xy+g(y)

and differentiating with respect to y yields

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-4x+g'(y)=-4x+10y-9
\implies g'(y)=10y-9
\implies g(y)=\displaystyle\int g'(y)\,\mathrm dy=5y^2-9y+C

Thus the scalar potential of \mathbf f(x,y) is

f(x,y)=x^2-4xy+5y^2-9y+C

where C is an arbitrary constant.

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 inches shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 5 inches longer than the longer l
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

longer leg: 20 in

shorter leg: 15 in

hypotenuse: 25 in

Formulas:

<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c ... hypotenuse

a ... one leg

b ... another leg

Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).

Step-by-step explanation:

longer leg: x

shorter leg: x - 5

hypotenuse: x + 5

To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\(x+5)^2 = x^2 + (x-5)^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25= x^2 + x^2 -10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x = 2x^2 - 10x\\0 = x^2 - 20x

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

0 = x(x-20)

First solution:

x = 0

Second solution:

x - 20 = 0\\x = 20

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.

Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.

longer leg: x = 20 in

shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in

hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in

The linear parent function, f(x) = x was transformed to create a graph g(x) = f(x) - 1
levacccp [35]

Subtracting 1 from the function notation will decrease the y-values on the graph by 1 unit.

This will shift then entire graph of f down by 1 unit to create the graph of g.
